Does God exist? Does God CARE? Given the world's sorry state, many have their doubts.

God is neither distant nor indifferent. He speaks to us moment by moment -- informing us, suggesting good deeds, and revealing silver linings in our tribulations. His voice prompts us with endless opportunities to correct mistakes of thought, action, and belief.

Man feels alone only because he acts alone, thinks alone, and believes he is alone. He struggles in lack when he ignores or misuses God's bountiful gifts. He understands and appreciates God-given gifts and tools only if he CHOOSES to accept them, and rightly use them.

Prayer and what for

God is always present, and is always supplying all we need. So, why pray? Many good reasons! When we pray, we open ourselves to receive and cooperate with providential help. By helping us focus on the nature and value of our goals, appropriate prayer exerts an organizing, motivating force in our lives. Prayer also initiates an intimate dialog between us and God -- and what parent doesn't love hearing often from His child? That's WHY to pray; read the recommended articles for enlightening insight into HOW to pray.

Worship and Divine communion

Worship comes in many forms, but the most essential is Divine communion. Every child of God yearns for direct mystical contact with the Divine Parent. In fact, no experience of spirituality can fully satisfy any soul WITHOUT the direct experience of God. Promises of faith salvation, intellectual knowledge of truth, exhaustive effort in humanity service, rigorous self-discipline, religious ritual -- even the greatest riches and pleasures the world has to offer -- none of these replace our need for living EXPERIENCE of God's presence.

Should we abandon ordinary life, and head for mountain caves of mystic seclusion? There may be a time for dropping out and tuning in, but for most of us, quality time is best grabbed in small chunks, interspersed in a well-rounded spiritual life lived under ordinary conditions. And that is wonderful!

Surrender to God's will

As we grow spiritually, we improve in surrender to the Divine will. But the evolution into Godliness does not lead to boring standardization. Rather, the progressive surrender of more and more individuals to the will of God swells the ranks of an infinitely VARIED chorus. And likewise, the guidance God provides is infinitely varied.

The self that you are is absolutely and eternally unique, and so is your expression. But, the self you ARE also happens to be a child of God. Therefore, until you FUNCTION as a loving and obedient child of God, you are not fully being YOURSELF. So you see, being yourself requires BOTH self-expression AND self-surrender. Then, by means of spirit direction, both your universality and your uniqueness find their ultimate value and usefulness.

Obeying this voice works wonders far beyond what could be accomplished by purely human designs and mortal means. And yet, human CHOICE -- the free will choice to listen and obey -- remains essential to the delivery of God's love on earth.
